Pigment Yellow 74 is an azo dye and classified as an arylide yellow. It is an intensely yellow-green solid..
It is popular in tattoo inks. It is prepared by azo coupling of the diazonium derivative of 2-methoxy-4-nitroaniline with 2-methoxyacetoacetanilide.[1] It is a flat molecule, enforced by the hydrogen-bonding via the ketohydrazide group.[2]
Pigment Yellow 74 is a popular component of artist's paints[3] and tattoo inks.[4]
